Aging is a continuous process in the development of the human being that is physical, biological and social that is built every day to achieve the capabilities of each person. Objective: To determine the factors associated with active aging, especially social networks, in a population of the Ecuadorian highlands. Methodology: Research with a mixed field and cross-sectional approach, in 30 elderly adults of the Antonio José Holguín Parish. Results: Physical well-being is evident in 90% of the participants who are independent in basic activities of daily living, and 63% need some help in instrumental activities. Conclusion: Social networks influence active aging in the elderly. There is a relationship between physical, mental, and social well-being and the use of social networks as a means of communication.
